OBITUARIES.

Departed this life, after q brief illness, on
the 2ist instant, MAMIE, beloved daugh-
ter of Alex. and Annie Bayne.
Weep not, beloved parents, and fond
brother and sisters All is over now.
You see her no more, and no more hear
her dear voice. Why DO you grieveg
All perhaps might pardon something to
this weakness OF humanity. Have you
forgotten that the time of reunion is 10
come: In this our flesh shall We see God
and meet each other. All! weep away,
but not as those who have no hope !!
What a solace there is in every teaching
of our Church. TO her you come when
YOU need strength and consolation. There
fore, this ! think adds strength Ia the
moral-that you SOW today - that, when
the trumpet is sounded and whsn all troop
into the Valley of Jchusophat, when that
final distinction is made between sheep
and goats, and the elect and those 10 be
rcprobated-Oh God grant that we, with
her, may all meet together, never 10 he
separated, in the peace Of eternity.

Three Leading STICKS.

GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The stock market
was less active to- day and the entire list in
trading centered in Reading, though there
was some activity in Lackawanna, Union
Pacf; and Western Union. Prices were
firm almost from the opening to the close,
leaving the list in many cases moderately
higher than last afternoon. The trading
during the morning hours was without q
feature except an attempt to depress coal
stocks. evidently with the intention of
covering shorts, and these stocks furn-
shed nearly one-helf of the business done.
All the recent reports il regard to Reading
and the coal trade In general
we're persistently repeated, but as
80 Offset to them the rumor WAS
circulated that Messrs. Corbin & Sully
hsd formed syndicate TO take the entire
issue Of new per cents, which, however,
met with prompt denial. The efforts to
break the stock were successful and after
s slight rece :sion in the early trading its
course was steadily upward for the re-
mainder of the day Prices became more
pronounced toward the close and the
whole list moved up, Union Pacific being
special feature among the inactive
stocks. Consolidated Gas and San
Francisco preferred made sharp gains
lste in the day, but the rest were dull and
Iistless throughout. The weak spots
we're Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and
Hooking Valley, both OF which reacted
from their advance OF yesterday. The
opening wss firm but very dull, and
cOslers and Union Pacific monopoliZed
trading. There was q weak tone in the
first few minutes, but this soon disep-
pesred and the entire list moved
up slowly, Western Union becoming
prominent. Towards noon the four
stocks mentioned were the only ones
exhibiting any animation after IL O'Clock
until the lsst hour when there was e
more active market with decided strength
in some of the general list. The close
Was dull but firm to strong st about the
best prices of the dsy. The result of the
days bidding is that all the active list
with few exceptions are higher, and
Union Pacific and consolidated gas ad-
vsDced Il each, Lackawanna Is, Rich
mond and West Point preferred Il, Fort
Worth and Denver City II, and Jersey

Failed TO Prove Her Relation ship.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 29.-Sarah G.
Bond, young colored woman, attempted
to establish a claim for $4,000 before
Judge Tally yesterday by proving that
Mrs. E. Bunch, a mulatto who recently
died here aged seventy-six, was an issue
of secret message between Miss Curtis
and James Washington, the negro coach
man of the Curtis family. Miss
Curtis belonged 10 the aristo
cratic stock into which President
George Washington married. Miss Bond
is the only descendant of the negro
coachman. She succeeded in showing
that Mrs. Bunch was the daughter of Miss
Curtis, born while the latter was school
girl. Mrs. Bunch's career was traced to
her death in Chicago, where she left $4,000
worth of property mainly to q Baptist
church. The claimant failed to
show that Miss Curtis and the coachmau
were ever married, and therefore was
unable to prove relationship with Mrs.
Bunch Judge Tally, therefore, disal-
lowed the young colored woman's claim
for tie $4,000.

Assignments at Oameron-A Bloody Mys-
-. tery-Firemen's Ball.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX Dec. 2S,-There was found
this morning several pools of blood on
the sidewalk in front Of the Waco
State Bank. 1t is rumored that q
serious difficulty occurred there late
last night. So far neither on
GERS nor reporters have been able to dis
cover any clew concerning the affair.
The firemen's ball and supper OF last
night was the greatest success OF the
kind of the season. The fremen here
are all volunteers, and receive
nothing for their valor and work in time
of fires. The business men appreciated
this, and hence their liberal patronage OF
their annual celebration Of last evening
r. Mrs. J. T. Wilson, wife Of John 7.
Wilson, one of Waco's prominent citizens,
wss buried to-day. She died OF con-
sumption.
C. P. Ruby of Cameron made an assign
meut to-day to j. Fl. Beckett. Reported
by Bradstreet.
Citizens from the neighborhood of Val
ley Mills, where the man Clebe Roberts
was killed the other night, express very
little sympathy for the murdered man
They claim that he belonged to gang Of
thieves and they were neither sur
prised nor sorry that he has been put out
of the was.s This gang of horse thieves
has given much trouble to the homes,
citizens in the northern part OF this and
